The successor to the hit School 2013 might or might not have lived up to its predecessor but for me this drama was an instant attraction. Some dramas just click upon first watch and the rest don't. This is a case of 'It looks good' case and the teasers were good as well. For some reason I could never get into School 2013 but this one was exactly what I would like in a school drama- an attractive cast, adolescent issues, mystery, suspense, thriller, romance and a whole lot of teenage hormones. Also this where this drama probably went wrong as well because of trying to fit in too many genres in one. Here comes a drama that I wish were 20 episodes instead of a mere 16 (I wouldn't even have minded 24). How can this be possible? Well- for all those plots and characters that it had me invested in begged to explore them a bit longer but this one ended too quickly. This drama had a potential to earn a full 10 but I am here giving it a 9 only. Yes, ONLY. It's a shame when you think about what a masterpiece could have come out of this one. In the end what it ended up being was a fluff, no-brainer school drama. Yes, it has heart. Lots of heart. Also lacks it in many ways. It will remind you of how life isn't always fair especially not for everyone but will also show you hope at the end of the tunnel. The silver lining of every dark cloud. I really like when a drama takes up issues like bullying, self-discovery and friendship (Jdramas do it so well). Here it takes up a lot and just ends up turning into a fairy tale in the end where good always wins and evil fairies turn into loving people. Well, kind of. Ironically, I thought it would a heart-wrenching, dark tale but much like its poster but in the end it is just butterflies in the stomach. It has a lot of cuteness in it and the cast will steal your heart away. It has a lot of funny moments and just when you dare the story to pull something big, it goes woooosh. It isn't a bad thing but maybe I expected a bit more. One thing this drama leaves me with is an excellent OST. The songs have been on my playlist as they kept releasing and I will recommend them to you. The songs are wonderful and even the background scores are amazing. In the end this drama is another school drama for chicks. It's so very girly. Sadly the over excecution of un-necessities and necessities ends up leaving no room for any rewatch.
